Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life.

Believe it or not, you can do it! One of the best bits of advice I was given when i was doing my degree is not to look at it as some insurmountable obelisk that is impossible to tackle. Just do little tasks and then it all adds up! And actually, this worked! Even when I realised I'd spelled a crucial word wrong in my article search and had to do my literature review again in the final reading week, as well as writing the rest of the dissertation! The person that gave me that advice was my OH, no wonder I've let him stick around for 7 years!

Never give up on a goal because of the time it will take to achieve it - the time will pass anyway​

Really? I can't remember if we were allowed to or not, this is because i am very old and it was 6 years ago. I'm pretty sure we were allowed to use meta-analyses. If you're not allowed, why not just poach the papers off the reference list of the review? I mean, to read, not just to say you've read!
